Not saying you are entirely wrong, but maybe that article isn't totally off either. For ex. > You know who built Google? People who weren't working in Yahoo or AltaVista. > Who built Microsoft? Again outsiders out of the Uni

I worked in the BOSS linux team from 2010-2012. I can probably answer some questions. Let me address the most common sentiment.. Why BOSS when we already have Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat etc.? Support - gov bodies moving to linux need guaranteed
